blckshdwdragon thinks hue has something to do with gray and black

for scantrons thats about the only way u can cheat, but id say about a 30-40% hue would do quite nicely, i tried it out once. getting the right shadeing is TRICKY and requires practice and trial and error. i got to be a TA for a while and actually graded scantrons during HS. last note, the master bubble doesnt work, since u scan the master scantron first and the answers wont reset if you introduce another master key. the only way to get it to work is by reseting the machine and making ursa the key which is highly unlikely : /

Um, hue is part of the spectrum. Ie. a red hue, a magenta hue.

I always thought it just looked for black marks on the paper in certain points . You guys are to complex.

It does, but you used the word hue, which has nothing to do with shades of gray, and everything to do with colors of the rainbow.

hue n. 1. The property of colors by which they can be perceived as ranging from red through yellow, green, and blue, as determined by the dominant wavelength of the light.

Quoted from websters:
Main Entry: hue
Pronunciation: 'hyü
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English hewe, from Old English hIw; akin to Old Norse hy plant down, Gothic hiwi form
1 : COMPLEXION, ASPECT <political parties of every hue -- Louis Wasserman>
2 a : COLOR b : gradation of color c : the attribute of colors that permits them to be classed as red, yellow, green, blue, or an intermediate between any contiguous pair of these colors -- compare BRIGHTNESS 2, LIGHTNESS 2, SATURATION 4

Black is decomposed of ALL of the colors. Hence hue, or tone are appropriate.

No, hue is that which allows distinction between the colors of the spectrum.

Why do I bother? Obviously you're a moron.

Word. "blck" needs to go and decompose somewhere.

Did you bother to read the dictionary?
Read definition 2 a, b, c that i listed.
Go argue that to Websters, scientist, or english professor.
Your obviously being ignorant to the definition to hue, and implicating that your assumed definition of hue is the factual definition of hue.
why dont you read this again:
2 a : COLOR b : gradation of color c : the attribute of colors that permits them to be classed as red, yellow, green, blue, or an intermediate between any contiguous pair of these colors -- compare BRIGHTNESS 2, LIGHTNESS 2, SATURATION 4

You dont have either logic or sense to the definition of hue.

the attribute of colors that permits them to be classed as red, yellow, green, blue, or an intermediate between any contiguous pair of these colors -- compare BRIGHTNESS 2, LIGHTNESS 2, SATURATION 4

(the attribute of colors that permits them to be classed as red, yellow, green, blue, or an intermediate between any contiguous pair of these colors )-- compare (ie. as opposed to) BRIGHTNESS 2, LIGHTNESS 2, SATURATION 4
The definitions all say the same thing, and none of them say black. You're a fucking moron, quit proving it to all the members.

It says between those colors which would automatically rule black out of the equation because black isn't between anything. Now shut up and quit while you're behind.

Ugh, too lazy to read all of this.

For the HSL scale, Hue is somewhat alike the wavelength of colour as WW stated. Hue always evaluates to true, meaning you always need a "pure" colour hue, such as "red", "blue", "indigo", "violet" and such.
Saturation is the pureness of colour. No saturation results in a grayscale ranging from white to black. Full saturation is pure colour; as the hue seems.
Lightness/Value/Blackness determines the darkness of a colour. 0 value means pure black, despite what hue or saturation your colour has. Full value means pure illuminance of the colour.

For instance, a red hue with full saturation and full value becomes pure "red", more red than you would ever see in nature. A red ferrari never has a fully saturated red colour in reality. Any hue with no (or low) saturation and high value will be light gray, or white.

Technically, you could do a very nice-looking painting with only one single hue, say red. You could easily vary the red to, say, pure black, dark gray, white, dark red, and pinkish by playing with the saturation and value alone. There are also certain tricks that can make one red with high saturation look like a completely different hue when surrounded by low saturation red of the same hue. Colour balance takes lots of time to get used to, but it works.

im done talking about this issue (logically, see above post for arguement). Whatever bliss you with to embrace is up to you, but the fact is black has a hue, for yourselves and self knowledge you can find out from someone who knows or look for it on the internet its there. Stores sell black hue paint, as writers (professional) or of certain topics like black/african use such phrases as "black hue", "hue of black", or "Grumbacher Academy Acrylic Colors 3 oz. tube mars black hue", have a nice day

The L stands for Luminance, Chris.

And peopel tell me I get into fights over retarded things...

He's a webmaster, he's not supposed to be retarded like that.
